200TDi power loss when warm
Fizzy Pig:
I have just got a new feul tank & she has just had a service so I don't think it is any of these things as she was doing it before this as well.
But things to thinks about. Cheers Fizzy Pig
beast5680:
you just had a new fuel tank and now you have fuel problems? you see where i,m going here? dont assume its not that always worth a check :wink:
Fizzy Pig:
Thanks Neal, but I was having the same problem before I had the new tank fitted. I had a quick look last night for squashed pipes ect. I will take a look at the breather this weekend as well to make sure.
I'm also trying a new experiment with the air intake, I'll post if it makes any difference or not.
Cheers
Richie_EB4:
Check all your fuel pipes for air leaks.........you will find that it will draw air into the fuel filter and then starve the pump.
Fizzy Pig:
Thanks for your suggestions guys. I might have found the problem :)
The old Fizzy Pig has a home made snorkel which she had when I bought her, It is basically a bit of plastic tube running up the windscreen with a load of holes drilled in and the top blocked off.
As the trouble only seemed to be when at the dizzy top speeds of 50 to 60 MPH and from your suggesions about air in the fuel. I have sealed off about 2/3 of the air holes in the snorkle. Still a bit early to be absolutly sure but I have taken her on a few runs the same as my usual ones with problems and she's been fine.
Not saying she's completly right yet but not conking out down the dual carrigeway is a big plus. Also discovered my snorkel is not fully air tight which is a major bonus before I go more than 4 feet under ( got damn close to it last weekend too).
Cheers for your help on my first posting. Great to have the advice and knowedge from those with Landy know how. I doubt it will be my last.
Fizzy Pig :)
